    I guess that’s a possibility, but where will spez find masochistic people who have to deal with abuse, spam, CP, far-right bullshit holocaust deniers every second of their day for free? Reddit mods may seem on a power trip and almighty super proud people but they are still what keeps reddit not turning into voat or 8chan. And they do it for free. Then reddit reaps the profits. Something’s not right.

      For all he cares, the mods may as well be people who spread abuse, spam, CP, far-right bullshit holocaust denial, every second of their day, for free… As long as he can make his money.

        I have no idea if voat still exists to be honest, and I’m not going to check. But it is (or was) a prime example of what happens when there is no moderation. Crazies take over and there is no more discussion.

          I was in there when it first launched. I set up a sub for craftbeer. I first notice a problem with the site when I would browse /all. It was really bad… I just nuked my account there after that and went back to Reddit. I assume it died years ago but I’m also not going to check either.
